#Swedish #Socialdemocrats would want Swedish language #Finnish #officers from the Finnish armed forces to train Swedish #conscripts and in this way increase the number of conscripts that are educated each year. #PeterHultqvist also thinks that men should be held in reserve longer than they are today.
